Looking for reliability with €6,000 to spend.
Hi, I'm looking for a used car, small-medium sized for max 6,000€. Previously drove a RAV4 which was expensive in terms of fuel. Big fan of Toyota, I like the Corolla ascent seca (returning from Aus where they're everywhere but can't seem to find any at home!) as well as reliable brands like ford. If you've any advice on available reliable 5-door small-medium sized reliable cars with low mileage I'd be v grateful! Thanks
Our answer:
Hi Lucy,
You can certainly find a Corolla Ascent Seca here, they're just not called that. We just called them Corollas (or more recently the Auris hatchback) and there are plenty around in your budget range. A fine car - reliable and roomy. Also worth checking out the Honda Civic if reliability is your priority, while the Kia cee'd and Hyundai i30 are also worth a look.
